Groundwater REsource managemENt for non-Potable water pUrposes, baseMent protection, and heating - Pilot application

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A Greece - Bulgaria

Date of latest update: 2025-12-06

Description

Description (EN):

GREEN PUMP aspires to show a novel method that can be used to reduce unnecessary public works due to high network load, decrease the environmental impact of water/energy use in public buildings and, on the long run, save money. Our approach consists of the following: 1. Elaboration of criteria for site selection (groundwater quality, aquifer depth, vicinity to prospective users, flooding risk, etc.). 2. Study of technical implementation details to existing and new buildings and cost estimation. 3. Complete study of installations of several such systems in many areas of Greece. 4. Construction of one complete pilot installation in Thessaloniki, Greece, and secondary water use ones in Blagoevgrad and Petrich, Bulgaria, and Pylaia, Greece. 5. Elaboration of monitoring program for such systems and monitoring of the pilot systems. 6. Evaluation of the environmental and social benefits. Optimization of the design per user needs. 7. Policy document on the simplification of legal procedures.

Expected Results (EN):

GREEN PUMP results in summary: 1. Reduction of potable water consumption, by substitution with untreated ground water, suitable for secondary uses (4 sources, deployed in 1 year). 2. Reduction of use of fossil fuels for heating by substitution with shallow geothermal energy (1 source, deployed in 1 year). 3. Percentage of net energy conservation, taking into account energy used in water treatment and electricity demand of heat pumps and ground water pumps (calculated in the end of the project). 4. Elaboration of criteria for site selection (including groundwater quality, aquifer depth, vicinity to prospective water and energy users, flooding risk, etc.). These will be part of the final studies and will be released in the end of the project. 5. Study of technical details of application to existing and new buildings (including double water supply networks) and optimization of the design (released in the first year for the first part and at the end of the project for the second). 6. Calculation of the amortization period of the required investment complete with a cost/benefit analysis (calculated in the end of the project and updated even after the projects end). 7. Evaluation of the environmental and social benefits (included in same analysis with 6, calculated in the end of the project). 8. Proposals for simplification of the required permit process in both countries and for elimination of bureaucratic barriers (included in a relevant study in the end of the project). 9. Distribution and promotion of the entire methodology in all relevant active entrepreunerial societies/chambers of commerce/incubators (final closing event). Overall it is expected that GREEN PUMP will directly help monitor and utilize groundwater resources that are currently wasted, constitute a flooding hazard. It will additionally save significant amounts of money for the target groups of these actions on the long term.
